@Neptune, I think you are making very good points and I think you convinced me that teleporting is fine BUT I just have 1 or 2 things to say: earning the right to teleport and the feel of a massive world.

You compare to FFXI and how it is fine even if you can teleport, well in FFXI you got to earn the outpost by delivering the supplies when the outpost is in the city's possession, and you can only teleport when the city-state holds that region. Thus restricting a little bit the teleporting. FFXIV's aetheryte teleport system would be ok if at the VERY LEAST you would have to acquire the "nodes" before being able to teleport there (already is) and be teleported there (that's the bad part of FFXIV).

There is the feel of accomplishement and earning your rights and privileges missing in FFXIV, which only contribute to make the game bland and empty.

I think being able to teleport and be teleported at level 1 is also diminishing the game's experience and should be acquired at the very least at level 10 with a quest with cut scenes and story behind it.

Also, the world in FFXIV is bare and bland we all know it and being able to teleport freely is maybe contributing to it a bit but you make a point that it doesn't in FFXI. This will be fixed when they give us a redesigned Eorzea I think.
